Photo Walk!
Impromptu Richmond Photowalk
Members and visitors are invited to join an impromptu Photowalk on Wednesday 27th March at Richmond.
Meeting at 6:30 at the Grandstand in Richmond Park. Sunset is 6:58pm.
We will roam around the park and streets as a group but not on top of each other, shooting as the sun sets. There are many compositions to be captured as well an opportunity for asking questions.
Photographers of all levels and experience are invited to join the walk. Visitors are invited to join us to find out a little more about the Hawkesbury Camera Club. Members are invited to bring a friend or family who is interested in photography.
Stay as long as you like. Once the sun sets we will no doubt play with long exposures and night photography.
No RSVP needed, just turn up and stay as long as you like. We will be ther rain, hail or shine (darkness!).
